  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    13/03/2019
    Following on from my earlier article, The Dark Side of Alchemy, I’m now in a position to share some thoughts on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as a whole. I wrote the earlier article after I had finished “Part 1” which is the first 13 episodes; this time I’m writing having...

  • Why Pierce Brosnan Should Return as James Bond for One More Film

    12/03/2019
    I desperately want to see an old James Bond. Not Roger Moore in A View to a Kill or Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again, where they ignored the fact that these men were far too old for what the film required of them, but rather a Bond...

  • SSSS.GRIDMAN

    06/03/2019
    Kaiju are giant. Enormous. They are impossible to miss. You’d know if you saw one, you would just know. Yet in SSSS.GRIDMAN a lot of them manage to fade into the background. Standing like mountains in full view yet seemingly almost invisible. After a few episodes I realised that...

  • Predicting the Story of Star Wars: The Mandalorian

    05/03/2019
    This December, Star Wars: Episode 9 looks to be the last Star Wars film released for the next couple of years as the space action moves to television with the release of The Mandalorian on Disney’s upcoming streaming service Disney+. Little but a cast list is known about the...

  • Goblin Slayer

    27/02/2019
    The trouble with goblins is, nobody takes them seriously. They’re just goblins after all; little more than an irritation. How many games have you played, or stories have you read/watched, where goblins are a monster enemy? 10, 20, 100? What proportion of those treated them as anything more difficult...

  • My Hopes For The Next James Bond Film

    26/02/2019
    It’s crazy to think that when the 25th James Bond film premieres early next year, it’ll have been almost 5 years since the previous entry Spectre hit cinemas. That’s a year longer than the break between Die Another Day and the modern reboot Casino Royale. Looking back, it’s hard...

  • Filling the Marvel Netflix Vacuum

    22/02/2019
    The final nail has been struck. The last two remaining Marvel Netflix shows have not been renewed. We’ve still got Jessica Jones season 3 to come. Hopefully it’ll live up to the wonderful first season, but it will not receive a fourth season irrelevant of how well it does....

  • Connecting with Bumblebee

    20/02/2019
    The Transformers cinematic franchise is a funny old beast. Seeing the first one, directed by Michael Bay, all those years ago was truly breathtaking. He made these giant transforming robots, not only look good but look like they belonged in the real world. It’s an amazing feat of CGI...

  • The Dark Side of Alchemy

    13/02/2019
    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood caught me out big time. I really wasn’t prepared for what would happen in Episode 4. I don’t think I could have been less prepared for it if I’m honest. “What happened?” you ask; I’m not going to tell you as that would spoil it. What...
